Faxon had and 11.5 with a mid-length gas port that was supposedly designed for suppressor use. Based on reviews though it looks like in order to deal with the lack of dwell time, they opened up the gas port so much that it was overgassed even with adjustable blocks set on their lowest setting - and people were theorizing this was to ensure function WITHOUT a suppressor. Giving it a bit more dwell time by using an intermediate between mid length and carbine seems like it could be a good idea.So Sagedynamics and Roscoe are releasing a barrel with a new gas length that they're calling patrol length. I guess it's supposed to be optimized for silencers on 12.5 barrels which apparently can have trouble with silencers. I don't know a whole a lot about silencers so I don't know if this is a real thing.
As someone who would like to put together a short (10 - 12 inch) SBR, for use as a suppressor host for a HD gun, if the gas port on this barrel is tuned right I think it could be quite a good setup. That being said, I don't care for the stainless barrel because I'd never shoot the thing at any kind of extended range and I'd prefer the durability of a nitrided 4150 or regular old chrome lined barrel. Still think there could be merit to the gas port location though.
